“…Using P-J fit theory as a theoretical framework, we attend to one individual characteristic, namely, openness to experience, and three job characteristics, namely, skill variety, task significance, and task identity. Of the Big Five personality traits (i.e., conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, and extraversion), openness to experience is known as the strongest predictor of creativity in numerous studies [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Individuals who are open to experience actively seek out new possibilities and pursue challenges that transform their work experience [21], which is a critical aspect of job crafting [6].…”

This study examined the effect of the fit between personality (i.e., openness to experience) and core job characteristics (i.e., skill variety, task significance, and task identity) on job crafting. We collected survey data from 200 college students who were assigned a team project during the semester. Using polynomial regression analysis, we tested the effects of the fit between personality and job characteristics on job crafting. The results revealed that a high level of openness to experience was significantly associated with a high level of job crafting (i.e., task, relational, and cognitive crafting). Furthermore, when both openness to experience and job characteristics were congruent at a high level, the tendency to proactively perform one’s tasks was also high. These findings enhance our understanding of the effect of the fit between openness to experience and three core job characteristics on job crafting.

“…Some previous team-level studies have focused on procedural or environmental variables rather than the individual characteristics of team members (e.g., Zhang et al, 2019). However, as the creative process is ultimately driven by individual team members and their ongoing interactions and collaborations, it is important to study the relationship between team member's individual characteristics and team innovative performance.…”

“…Creative ideas are first developed by individuals. However, it is then dependent on team processes and composition whether these ideas will be developed into creative output or not (i.e., Zhang, et al 2019). Teams may have positive effects on both individual and group creativity.…”

What makes teams creative? We investigated how the diversity and agreeableness of team members moderate the relationship between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and innovative performance at the team level. We found that the educational background diversity is a critical factor to affect the knowledge, perspective, and problem-solving skills and, in turn, has a positive effect on innovative performance. We also showed that the relationship between aggregated CSE and innovative performance was not linear but inverted U-shaped at the team level. We expect our study to provide meaningful managerial implications about team composition and team innovative performance.

“…Creativity can be perceived as the ability to generate new viewpoints, relationships, or meanings to produce an innovative idea that is different from the original by reprocessing, amending, integrating or recombining linkable factors based on the original knowledge structure that satisfies a special need or meaningful purpose and exhibits a new originality which has its own unique values [37,46,47]. While studies [48] indicate that knowledge sharing can limit creativity, other researchers [49] argue that the sharing of such knowledge enhances creation skill, openness, and independence which are key characteristics of creativity. Therefore, creativity is the foundation of innovative knowledge; and innovation is the result of expressed creativity.…”

Technology-Enhanced Learning for Graduate Students: Exploring the Correlation of Media Richness and Creativity of Computer-Mediated Communication and Face-to-Face Communication

The objective of the research was to explore and compare the differences in potential creative thinking that media richness had on learners in creativity training through two different types of communication formats; computer-mediated communication, and face-to-face communication. The results indicated that the computer-mediated communication format performed better than the face-to-face in terms of the fluency, flexibility, and originality dimensions of creative thinking. The computer-mediated communication format also had a greater level of media richness perception (i.e., use of multiple cues, language diversity, and personal focus of the medium) than the face-to-face format. In terms of the combined effectiveness of computer-mediated communication, and face-to-face formats, the use of multiple cues, language variety of perception of media richness had direct effects on the fluency of creativity. There was also a positive correlation between the elaboration of creativity and the use of multiple cues, language variety, and personal focus of the medium in the perception of media richness. Furthermore, language variety was correlated with creativity and flexibility. The research findings highlighted the importance of the availability of immediate feedback on media richness, whereas creativity cognition should focus on the breadth and depth of the information, which contributes to enhancing the creativity of individuals or a group of employees.
